Nevertheless, transoceanic wireless telegraphy over long distances, such as those across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, is a matter to be reckoned with in the future, but it remains to be seen whether the present means are sufficient to render possible communication to the antipodes.
An aircraft fuelled for a transcontinental or transoceanic flight may have on board fifty or sixty tons of highly explosive fuel.
Yet the networks still pretend ' long-distance ' calls need gold-plated transoceanic cables and diamond-encrusted operators.
It will be available to our European friends to help speed up access and reduce the load on the transoceanic links.
